Sky virgin what's the difference? Both show crappy repeats, one has slightly more hd crappy repeats, the other has more on demand repeats

You may have a point there LOL :-) So I take it TIVO will just help you find more crappy repeats easier LOL.

thats my understanding of it

same content just found quicker and from more sources ... not exactly ground breaking unless they get several competing media suppliers ( Lovefilm , Blockbuster ) or have a true archive going back years rather than days and covering thousands instead on hundreds of episodes

the fact you can get additional info on celebrities or movies/tv programs isnt ground breaking either as that is easily done now with an internet connection

VM and tivo are trying to reinvent the wheel but in one box instead of a PVR & PC as far as i can see

But Tivo invented the wheel in the first place.

well i know i will get hung drawn and quartered for saying it by its supporters ... BUT

the more i hear and learn about tivo the less impressed i am ... its being hyped out of all proportion and isnt the best thing since sliced bread as some would have us believe ... its just a PVR/DVR .. nothing more and nothing less ... just a fancy PVR/DVR and i have yet to see anything that proves its more than that ...

i know some are gonna say but it has better VoD and search ... but search for what .. you can only search for what is there and tivo does not bring additional content just handles the existing content better

OK thats my 2p worth and all my own conclusion and opinion drawn from the info ive seen so far

Suggestions seem easy to work out ie You watch Casualty why not try Holy City or you watch CSI why not try CSI Miami not that groundbreaking and there seems to be a lot of people unhappy with wishlist.

S1 owners are used to blocking channels, as TiVo was a stand alone box, but because VM's TiVo is an intergrated box, it won't let you do that.

We've fed back to VM that we could improve WishLists by allowing customers to only search favourites.

For someone who hasn't used WishLists before, it works fine.

Well after the years worth of problems I have had with VM I think I deserve to be one of the 1000, I have registered and now just going to wait and see, im that popular with customer service these days they call me by my first name, if I dont get picked im leaving VM, already striked up a decent deal with BT Infinity if all else fails for my BB

richardc1983 · 22-02-2011, 14:36

Why?? because you have had some problems should VM give you TiVo before any other customer?

So you would throw a hissy fit and leave VM if they don't pick you first?

Bye then

muppetman11 · 22-02-2011, 15:05

The date is easy VM said they would contact people by the end of March if that doesn't happen then I can understand people being annoyed.

Spoke to the Chief Exec's office today and they say they were sent out to a random selection. That would explain why I and many others on here haven't received one.

I think they should be given to VIP Customers paying FULL PRICE to thank them for their FULL PRICE PAYING LOYALTY, folk on retentions shouldn't be first picked
